“Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die,” said cleric Abdul Raoulf, who is considered a moderate and was jailed three times for opposing the Taliban before the hard-line regime was ousted in 2001.
The trial, which began last week, has caused an international outcry. President Bush has said he is “deeply troubled” by the case and expects the country to “honor the universal principle of freedom.”

But three Sunni preachers and a Shiite one interviewed by The Associated Press in four of Kabul’s most popular mosques said they do not believe Rahman is insane.
“He is not crazy. He went in front of the media and confessed to being a Christian,” said Hamidullah, chief cleric at Haji Yacob Mosque.
“The government is scared of the international community. But the people will kill him if he is freed.”
Raoulf, who is a member of the country’s main Islamic organization, the Afghan Ulama Council, agreed. “The government is playing games. The people will not be fooled.”
“Cut off his head!” he exclaimed, sitting in a courtyard outside Herati Mosque. “We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there’s nothing left.“
He said the only way for Rahman to survive would be for him to go into exile.
But Said Mirhossain Nasri, the top cleric at Hossainia Mosque, one of the largest Shiite places of worship in Kabul, said Rahman must not be allowed to leave the country.
“If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can too,” he said. “We must set an example. … He must be hanged.“
The clerics said they were angry with the United States and other countries for pushing for Rahman’s freedom.
“We are a small country and we welcome the help the outside world is giving us. But please don’t interfere in this issue,” Nasri said. “We are Muslims and these are our beliefs. This is much more important to us than all the aid the world has given us.”
Afghanistan’s constitution is based on Shariah law, which is interpreted by many Muslims to require that any Muslim who rejects Islam be sentenced to death.

En las protestas internacionales no se incluye la de nuestro gobierno ni se le espera. Menos mal que nos quedan los musulmanes moderados:
Las autoridades de Argelia se disponen a promulgar una ley que prohíbe el proselitismo religioso y con la que desean impedir el avance del cristianismo impulsado por misioneros evangélicos, sobre todo en la región de Cabilia, al este del país.
El proyecto de ley fue aprobado en noviembre por el Consejo de Ministros, que explicó en un comunicado que contenía “disposiciones para acabar con las actividades anárquicas de asociaciones así como de particulares e impedir con la fuerza de la ley el proselitismo del que son objeto los musulmanes en el país”.
El pasado fin de semana concluyó la ratificación parlamentaria del proyecto de ley coincidiendo con la multiplicación de artículos en la prensa sobre el auge del cristianismo en Cabilia.
El texto adoptado por las dos cámaras prevé penas de dos a cinco años de cárcel y multas de entre 5.000 y 10.000 euros contra aquellos que “inciten, obliguen o utilicen medios de seducción para convertir a un musulmán a otra religión”. Las mismas penas se impondrán a quienes fabriquen, distribuyan o almacenen documentos en cualquier soporte que “busquen minar la fe de los musulmanes”.
Por último, queda prohibido el culto de cualquier religión, excepto el islam, “fuera de los edificios previstos para ello”. Se intenta así evitar que los cristianos puedan reunirse en casas particulares para rezar o leer la Biblia.
